If one already thinks one is a failure, and there is negative comment from those in the environment, it becomes that much more difficult to pull oneself out of the negative feelings/despair/depression. Not to say that others' opinions matter that much, but they can certainly add to the way one is looking at a situation. One needs therefore to cultivate a positive frame of mind. The question is, how to do that, when one is in despair in an unencouraging environment? I think a large part of the problem is fear of social comment/ostracism regarding the perceived faiure.
